San Antonio X-Factor – World Cup Champs!

If you’re going to make it to the finals in one event, there is nothing greater than playing in front of sold out grandstands packed with thousands of fans from around the world and fighting for the highest regarded title in Paintball during the largest event in over a decade – The 2013 PSP World Cup.

This is exactly where San Antonio X-Factor found their team after defeating Houston Heat in an upset for the World Cup Semi Finals. On the flip side, Edmonton Impact have made it to Sunday in each 2013 PSP event, but still had not yet secured a Championship. Their win over the Los Angeles Ironmen in the Semi Finals brought them face-to-face with San Antonio X-Factor to see who would be crowned the new World Cup Champions.

After a heated battle which ended with less than a minute on the clock, San Antonio X-Factor stormed the field and declared ownership of the World Cup by defeating Edmonton Impact with a final score of 7 – 5! This is San Antonio X-Factor’s first Professional World Cup Championship. Team owner Alex Martinez reflected on his first World Cup after his win. His son, then 13 years old, begged his dad to let them travel to Florida from Texas and compete in the World Cup. 10 years later, X-Factor gets to bring the Cup home to Texas.
